About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Follow your dreams, go back to sleep.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel travelling offers the most when you get to feel a bit of the local life. What's the local pub like ? What do people do on a weekend? Where are those places you never get to see in a lonely planet guide but is all the rage lately ? What are the crappy neighbourhoods like ? Are they even that bad ? The little things everyone does but you don't notice until someone tells you...

And besides that, it's funny how we all have different perspectives on all things, even when we're from neighbouring countries...

Interests

I love pretty much everything that's outdoors and involves physical activity to some degree, especially in the mountains where it's quiet and the nature's still rather undisturbed by human activity. I don't get much happier than eating questionably tasty food by a fire after a hard day's walking, sipping some of that premium stream water :)

But don't let that fool you, I love me some urban activity too! I'm quite into sitting on a terrace with a (some) drink(s) and some friends, talking nonsense and stretching the evening into the early morning!

And food, definitely making and eating it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A week of solo hiking in NZ mountains, a couple of stressful pitches but so much peace and awesome sceneries!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Unfortunately my tiny apartment doesn't offer much comfort for two, but I happy to help out if you need a place to crash (though lately i'm working abroad a few days a week)!
However I'm happy to show you around, I have some solid knowledge of bars in the North-East area (youngest/most lively though a tad hipster-ish), I can tell you about the cool places to visit that you won't find in tourist guides, sometimes it's just a street, but a really cool one !
Just holler if you wanna party or just chill :)
